Chapter 20
[Torva's POV]
At first when I was brought into this world by our great creator, I thought to follow the blacksmithing techniques and swordsmanship of Pagma, the one that King Daz has mimicked me after. Much later down the line though, I have come to realize that that isn't the case. While following Pagma's Blacksmithing techniques is fine since they are miraculous, his swordsmanship is subpar in comparison to the King. While I was having these thoughts, I was practicing with my sword while Crimson was watching over me in the background. My thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the world and Crimson seemed to notice as well.
[You have begun to diverge from your original path and are beginning to carve your own. You have chosen the swordsmanship of the one you truly wish to follow. You have obtained the Legendary Class [[Daz's Patisan ]]]
The moment I received this message, it was like the chains inside my mind that were holding me back, broke. "Daz's Swordsmanship: Skyrise."
As I said that, I swung my sword upwards faster than I ever have before, and it made an invisible air slash that caused such strong winds, it pushed back Crimson. It didn't just stop there though, it destroyed every regenerating training dummy in the training area. Crimson looked on with wide eyes as he witnessed the spectacle that I caused. I put a hand over my mouth and started tearing up. 'Finally, finally I can move much further ahead and leave that waste of space that follows Pagma's teaching blindly, behind.
My vigor for swordsmanship was renewed and I started to train even harder than I did before. Crimson followed in my footsteps, and this inspired Fenrir to do the same.
[Grids POV]
Grid was in the smithy working on some items, but was interrupted by a system notification.
[A Legendary Quest has been issued.]
[An Unchained Rivalry]
Your rival has surpassed you in swordsmanship at a much sooner time than expected and plans to leave you in the dust as she has decided on a new path. Challenge her to a duel and win. The longer you take, the stronger she will become
[Optional Objective]: Get to the same level as her before challenging her to a duel.
[Rank]: SSS
Rewards: Unknown
Time Limit: None
Grid started to sweat as he remembered exactly who this quest was talking about. The only thing that gave him more determination, rather than fear was the fact that just his swordsmanship was surpassed. That still didn't calm him down though. The amount of fear he felt that day he was initially challenged to a duel and rejected it, he knew that he wouldn't just lose, he would be humiliated.
[3rd Person POV]
The City of Khilux was flourishing as golems of all kinds were going from place to place across the city handling jobs. Now that laws and taxes were in place, a currency was handed out. It was decided to utilize the same currency that most of Satisfy uses, which is bronze, silver, and gold. There were various jobs available as well, like builder, adventurer, scholar, explorer, and more. Most golems were able to fight in some way, except those that were specialized specifically for a role like blacksmithing or construction. A guild was constructed that contained requests, mostly from King Daz, and some from the various departments of the kingdom, for many different materials needed.
For instance, there was a very high paying quest for as much silver mithril as possible from the new dungeon that Queen Jane originally discovered with her party. Most of the golem community that were adventurers went for this quest. Most would think that the golem community wouldn't really need money, but it brought along a system to reward them for their hard work, so they welcomed it. The money was normally spent on food, clothes, or housing expansion. Occasionally some orders like a signed picture of the King. A statue of the king was erected in the center of the city. The city itself was triple the size of Reinhardt.
It was time for one of King Daz's scheduled outings with the Queen and the Princess so that players of Satisfy could have a rare quest opportunity. Daz had a variety of items, weapons, armor, and companion golems that he could use as quest rewards. It was dependent on the system though, since it recommended what rewards Daz could give, based on the quest criteria Daz chose. The one thing about the quest he gives though, the minimum difficulty must be A rank. King Daz left with Queen Jane, Princess Juliet, and a small delegation of golems to guard them. Not that they needed it though.
Daz's objective with this outing is to get a player to accept a quest from him, a different one for Jane, and another for Juliet. These quests are to reward three new classes. The one from Daz would give them a class that would make them a disciple of Daz's. The different thing about this particular class, is that the person would be able to choose multiple paths, like swordsmanship, magic, blacksmithing, and alchemy to just name a few.
The reason for that is the fact that Daz could utilize his exclusive skill to gain the abilities and power of the golems he made. This does not however, allow the person who obtains the class, to make golems. That ability is now exclusive to Daz. For Jane and Juliet, they will be giving out similar classes called Jane's recruit and Juliet's recruit. These particular classes are to get players to join the golem army and rise in the ranks to eventually become knights. All three of these quests offer a race change to become golems as well. The biggest caveat about it though is that if they refuse, they can't reach the final upgrade of their class.
